Red-legged kittiwakes are very similar to the widely-distributed black-legged kittiwake, but they only breed on a few Bering Sea islands. Besides their bright red legs, they are a little smaller than black-legged kittiwakes and have darker backs and underwings, bigger eyes (apparently they are nocturnal), and smaller bills. I photographed these birds on St. Paul Island in the Pribilof group. |
